Understand the math behind every research paper.
Deconstructed turns dense academic papers into an interactive workspace for real understanding — with equation-by-equation explanations, section-by-section breakdowns, and outputs like summaries, slides, and flashcards.
Most AI tools can summarize a paper. Deconstructed is built to help you understand it.
The problem
You open a paper, get lost in dense equations, jump between tabs, ask scattered questions, and still don't fully understand what the math is doing.
You hit a wall of notation
You open a paper, equations pile up, and you lose the thread two pages in.
Tab-switching chaos
PDF in one tab, ChatGPT in another, notes in a third. Context scattered everywhere.
Summaries miss the math
Generic AI tools flatten the structure and skip the equations entirely.
You get the gist, not the understanding
You know what the paper claims, but not how the derivation actually works.
Why Deconstructed
Equation-aware explanations
Extract and explain the math — not just the paragraphs around it.
Built for technical papers
Understands sections, equations, and document structure without losing context.
Grounded in the source
Read the original paper alongside structured explanations. No more tab-switching.
From understanding to output
Turn one paper into summaries, flashcards, slides, and follow-up Q&A from the same workspace.
How it works
Upload a paper
Drop in a PDF or paste a URL. Deconstructed parses the structure, sections, and equations.
Explore the structure
Browse parsed sections. Every equation is extracted as LaTeX and rendered with KaTeX.
Dive into the hard parts
Click any equation for a Wolfram Alpha-powered deep dive — derivations, plots, and analysis.
Get explanations at your level
Basic intuition, advanced detail, or PhD-level rigor. Tailored to your background.
Turn insight into output
Generate summaries, slides, or flashcards from the same paper.

Most paper tools stop at
“here's the gist.”
Deconstructed is for the moment after that — when you need to understand the notation, unpack the derivation, prepare for a presentation, or implement the idea yourself.
